Thanks, price?

About $25 or so

Pizzini is a favourite! You can't go wrong!

Great producers of true Italian wine styles/varieties in Australia since the seventies, great choice Dave, I bet you're really enjoying it.

It’s rare that we finish a bottle, simply due to the volume of choice we have, but in this case I’ve just poured the last of the bottle into my glass 😉

Love the Pizzini range. Espec. their Sangiovese

I also have a bottle of that to sample in a future edition 😉

I'll keep an eye out!

High praise from you Dave. King Valley - my favourite Prosecco.

From Pizzini or somewhere else?

De Bortoli or Dal Zotto. De Bortoli just be in front. I adore the little bottles - excellent to pop in a gift bag too.

I loved wine with my meals but now being diabetic that has all gone by the wayside.🥺

Oh that sucks so much. Can you do zero alcohol wine? Or nah?

Oh yes, well as far as I know. Alcohol and sugar go pretty much hand in hand I am assuming. Plus some medications warn of mixing it with them. I'm hypertensive also among a small number of other things. It just sucks getting old.😒

Sounds nice. How much does it retail for?

When I managed a vineyard for Plantagenet Wines my boss brought some wine from his own cellar for our Xmas do. It was 2001 and we had Hill of Grace, Cyril Henschke,The Armagh and Plantagenet shirazes, all 1989. Ours made Hallidays top 100 most years and 89 was a good one but The Armagh killed it.

The good old days of being in the industry. I can mostly only afford cheap shit these days.

Clare Shiraz is unique

May well be unique, but every wine region gushes over their soils and climate. You can still get a Jim Barry, Clare shiraz for $30. The difference with the Armagh will be mostly viticulture (low crop, lots of leaf removal to expose bunches, probably selected parts of the vineyard)/2

Sounds delish, yum, crisp apples 🍎

Granny Smiths the be precise
